Product Description

Our 1 pound scrap package includes several pieces of 100% carbon fiber. Our scrap packages are made up primarily of veneer thicknesses, .25mm or .5mm thick. Most have a gloss finish, though you may receive a piece or two in a satin finish or a color. The product ranges from first quality pieces in odd sizes to sheets with pinholes that are often difficult to see. Some have scratches or marks that you can work around. The photo represents a typical 1 lb. package.

While scrap packages will always vary, you can generally expect at a few pieces of veneer roughly 12"x16" in size, with a range of smaller pieces. These veneers can be cut with a sharp blade or scissors. You can order our easy-to-apply adhesive to use as you wish or you can use any contact adhesive you have at home.

If you're interested in thicker material, please leave us a note in the comments section of your order and we'll do our best to help. Our supply of scrap in thicker material is much more limited and tends to run in small pieces 4" wide or less. Occasionally we do have slightly larger pieces.

Wow. That's all I could say when I opened the package

I found this listing in my terribly long (and almost entirely fruitless) search for a 3D printing surface to use on my print beds. I finally found out that carbon fiber works extremely well as a print bed surface for almost every material without needing anything else besides the CF sheet, and the few matierals that don't stick well to a plain CF sheet will stick to a CF sheet with hairspray or Elmer's Purple Glue Stick (which most print beds need one of the two for all materials)

So I figured, why not? For less than $40 bucks shipped, I might as well give it a shot, considering a printbed from the leading manufacturers are upwards of $60-100 for a SINGLE print bed.

I left a note in the comment section and explained that I only needed certain sizes and no scraps more than 12" square.

I got the package today, 4 days after ordering, and I am blown away!

Not only did they actually pick out sizes that are just over what I need or just under, but 7 of the 9 pieces are going to be used for print bed surfaces, with very little leftovers even after trimming down.

Two of the sheets can be used right out of the box on the largest printer I currently have (CR-10 with a 305mmx305mm bed size).

I am truly amazed that I got even a SINGLE print bed from the order I placed and was not expecting to end up with at least two for each of the three printers I own.

I am going to order more in the near future and tell everyone I know that needs a print bed to come here.

Outstanding Value

A wonderful find for backing plates that I normally would have made myself but for less money than I would have spent on materials (carbon & epoxy).

I included a note of what I was using the scraps for and asked for a specific cut- which they delivered to my exact request. Couldn't be happier!

Excellent product and service

Deal of the century

I was looking for scrap carbon to cut small backing plates for my boat. These pices were bigger and thicker than I could have ever hoped for.

Amazing customer service and the perfect product. Five stars doesn't do justice.

Wonderfull product and service

I made some general thickness requests and I was impressed beyond expectation with what arrived at my door. 100% recommended due to the service rendered. The carbon fiber came in much larger and usable pieces than I expected.

exactly what i asked for

Great customer service, great products and company would recommend them for all needs relating to carbon fiber

Carbon Fiber pieces by weight provided as advertised

This company does not always have spare pieces of carbon fiber for sale, but when it does they provided me just what I asked for. Sometimes I have purchased really thin pieces, and at other times I have requested thicker pieces, other times I have asked for a mix ...... they have provided each type of carbon fiber as requested, and shipment is always prompt and accurate. Great to do business with these folks. Highly recommended.

Carbon Fiber Scraps are Totally Worth It

I would be lying if my entire day was not made when i opened that box of scraps. I ordered the scraps because I wanted to personally touch and feel and see different types to determine which i wanted. All of my scraps are magnificent; some have color and I got a myriad varieties to look through. I received large sheets, colored sheets, smaller squares and rectangles of different thicknesses, and several more miscellaneous scraps.

I read some of the other reviews. They complain about not receiving useful scraps. First, scraps are scraps because they cannot be fully used by Protech, so naturally they might not fit your needs exactly...BUT. I called Protech and they are very accommodating and helpful. I even received a hand-written note my box of scraps attatched to some small buisness-card shaped cutouts of carbon fiber (he said they might be useful). Point is, I couldn't be happier with the products or the people are Protech. I highly recommend them.

Just okay- not great but not horrible.

There were mostly super thin pieces of CF good for decorating something. I was hoping more structural CF would be in the lot. There was a little of it, but not much. One of the larger 1mm pieces had half of the sheet full of die-cut holes- no use at all to me full of holes.

Kurt – Very sorry to hear the scrap bag was not what you were looking for. Unfortunately the scraps we can send out are very dependent on what is available in the shop at the time and is not always of great variety. Please keep in mind, the scrap bags are always varied, and if you have a specific need you can always leave a comment in your order, or give us a call explaining what would work best for you, and we will do everything we can do help. Thanks again for your order and your feedback.
